Wow has it really been that long since my last post? Guess so! I decided to do a quick post with just photos of the Bee Fields Shawl (ravelry)(non ravelry). It's been blocked and ready to be posted for awhile now but I've just been way to lazy busy to post it.
Lets get all the pics out of the way first.
Kaity was kind enough to model the shawl for me. Getting Shawn and the weather to cooperate to get some nice pictures was hard then I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed knitting this shawl and I'm sure if I would have worked on it more it would have taken me way less then a year to knit it. The shawl and I got in a few fights along the way and it had several lengthy time outs.
Kaity was shooting for a sad look. She tried to con me out of the shawl but I told her that I spent way to much time for her and and her sister to use it to play dress up. I'll give her an A for effort. She did try. I have yet to figure out what I'm going to do with the shawl. I'm not a shawl wearer but I love to knit them. Know anyone who would love a green lace shawl?
I'll be back in the next few days to post about some of the things I've been up to. I have lots to show.
Happy Crafting!
Very pretty! Nice color, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shawl!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, gorgeous shawl!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHEY! its about time you posted the final blocked pic! it looks BE-YOOUU-TI-FUL. great work and congratulations.
ReplyDeleteLovely shawl! I'm hoping to cast on for my first shawl this summer.
ReplyDeleteKaity's shawl looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteYou might as well let her "play" with it; if you're not going to wear it. Put it away when not in use, so it doesn't get ruined.
That is beautiful! I agree - she can't have it for dress-up. :)
ReplyDeleteThat came out beautiful! I love it. shame green really isn't my color...I would try to talk you out of it, would send you the yarn for this shawl I'm STILL working on! LOL Hmmm...I could always just send it to you anyways. I'm not enjoying using fingering weight yarn at all. should have stuck with DK weight. LOL
ReplyDeletethat is just beautiful; so glad you enjoyed the project! and kaidy is a really good sport!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteI stopped by looking for some answers.
I just started a pair of socks today, featuring a Baby Cable Rib but after several tries, I am stumped on how to proceed as of Round 3. When I tried to knit 2 together and then knit between the stitches before slipping them to the right needle, it looks like I would end up with 2 extra stitches each time. I am not an expert knitter but not a beginner either. If you can help, please do. My email:

The socks are Mary Anne Dinsmore's Cat's Paw Socks. You may be familiar with the pattern.
Thanks in advance, Geraldine
That shawl is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteyour socks are beautiful! I have made only 1 pair ever, mainly cos I figured people can't really see to appreciate the work and they don't wear well.
ReplyDeleteI get a lot of pleasure looking at sock blogs though.
